Tragic:

What make is the top one? The headstock looks kind of warped/lopsided (Gumby shaped).

The Gibson is sweet looking.

Classi...wait a second

damn you! you beat me to it!

my favorites are probably yamaha TRB/JP models as 5/6strings as a 4 banger the headstock would look mammoth.

not a big fan of MM 3+1 design but then i play 5ers most of the time so 3+2 is what i like.

That, my friend, is a Status.

I love Fender headstocks personally... The bigger Fender headstock the better. CBS Strat = the best.

I hate angled headstocks. It's not the natural shape of the wood, which means it's prone to being weaker. How many times have you seen a Gibson headstock snap off? How many times have you seen a Fender headstock snap off? Yeah.

I like all my tuners on one side of the headstock. I personally love Mike Lulls as a second to Fenders. I don't like the Tele headstock as much as a Strat style.

G&L is also awesome.

The reason, sir, is because Gibson and Epiphone tend to make their necks and headstocks out of two separate woods..... which is a good reason why you see them break off so often.

Second, the angle of a headstock has NOTHING to do with how strong the wood is. The angle is carved into the wood.... what do you think they bend it that way?? lol

Classic: perfection

boat paddle, but my favorite bass, so..

great bass, horrible headstock.. is it supposed to be a toadstool, or what?

Classic '60s kitsch

just like I always like to ask about anything fender back to back: "Whats the difference??"

This fails on sooo many levels

Cool thread btw... similar to the great bass/bad logo design thread I started a while back

BUT, you can hang it up pretty much anywhere. There's something to be said for that, IMO.

My fav is a tie between Stambaugh and Tobias. I don't like Elricks.

Most of the fender spinoff headstocks look terrible IMHO, but I like this one.

My favorite: Aria Pro II SB-1000

Too bad they wouldn't let Leo keep using it.

Classic: Fender hands down, but i gotta give props to Gibson thunderbird head design.

But i prefer Sandberg & yamaha BB series.

tragic: none come to mind since i haven't played any bass with a tragic headstock.
